Title: Binary Stars and Globular Cluster Dynamics Authors: John M. Fregeau In this brief proceedings article I summarise the review talk I gave at the IAU 246 meeting in Capri, Italy, glossing over the well-known results from the literature, but paying particular attention to new, previously unp...

Images made with ESO's New Technology Telescope at La Silla by a team of German astronomers reveal a rich circular cluster of stars in the inner parts of our Galaxy. Located 30,000 light-years away, this previously unknown closely-packed group of about 100,000 stars is most likely a new globul...

Of the over 200 globular star clusters that orbit the centre of our Milky Way Galaxy, 47 Tucanae, or NGC 104, is the second brightest globular cluster, behind Omega Centauri. 47 Tuc is 20,000 light years away and can be seen near the [url=http://www.activeboard.com/forum.spark?f...

Globular clusters, often regarded as the most boring denizens of our galaxy, have just become a lot more interesting. Rogue, hot stars have been discovered inside them. The tens of thousands of stars that make up each globular cluster were all thought to have formed at the same time, with exactly the...

The globular cluster M22, contains over 100,000 stars. These stars formed together and are gravitationally bound. Stars orbit the centre of the cluster, and the cluster orbits the centre of our Galaxy.

Title: FSR584 - a new globular cluster in the Galaxy? Authors: E. Bica, C. Bonatto, S. Ortolani, B. Barbuy We investigate the nature of the recently catalogued star cluster candidate FSR584, which is projected in the direction of the molecular cloud W3 and may be the nearest globular cluster to the S...

Title: Discovery of the most isolated globular cluster in the local universe Authors: In Sung Jang, Sungsoon Lim, Hong Soo Park, Myung Gyoon Lee We report the discovery of two new globular clusters in the remote halos of M81 and M82 in the M81 Group based on Hubble Space Telescope archive images. They...
